Jason Jerebko, the younger brother of injured Piston Jonas Jerebko, turned out to be a great off-season pickup by Joe Dumars. When Jonas went down with a calf injury in the lockout-shortened training camp, Joe swiftly signed the very young Swede and Jason has paid immediate dividends for Detroit.

The Pistons with a 99-73 blowout victory over the Pacers last night put an end to Detroit's 4-game losing streak. A missed layup at the buzzer by Rodney Stuckey cost the fans a free Cinnamon Twist from Taco Bell each time the Pistons score over 100 points. The crowd left the building disappointed despite the 26-point victory.

It was a nice rebound win after dropping another heartbreaker on Friday night, this time to the Atlanta Hawks. Joe Johnson scored 67 points as Atlanta won 103-101. "If you take away Joe Johnson, we won that game 101-36," Coach Lawrence Frank boasted in the postgame press conference.

Detroit takes its 3-6 record on the road to Indiana tomorrow night in a strange scheduling quirk that see the Pistons and Pacers virtually playing each other 3 times in the first 3 weeks of the season.
